The number 20 team, which was taken lightly by Team India from T20
Although India won the Asia Cup 2025 against Oman, the match exposed the defects of Team India’s strategy. India played this match against a team that they probably considered poorly, but this team is full of tremendous possibilities. In their third league game of the Asia Cup, the Indian team stood in the T20 ranking, the 20th position of Oman faced Oman. This match was considered an experiment for Team India. Team India got the chance to bat 20 overs for the first time in the tournament. The pitch was slow and was in more form than Dubai. Team India considered it a practice game, but many flaws came out during the match. Indian batsmen had to struggle a lot here. Suryakumar Yadav did not bat in this match. In front of him, Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav were sent, which surprised everyone. Fans want to know if it was just to test the bat of India, what then expected the captains to expect the bowlers? India did many experiments in their batting, but the pair of Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma remained untouched. If this game was just an experiment, Sanju Samson could be launched as a opener. Samson did not get the chance to bat in the first two games of the tournament, but he scored 56 runs against the UAE and proved his utility again. In the presence of two main bowlers, Hardik got a new ball. Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh bowled four overs, while Rana and Kuldeep Yadav threw three overs, but the four bowlers could only take one wicket. The situation was such that Suryakumar had to use Yadav eight bowling options. Oman has been trying to make its place in international cricket over the past few years. To achieve this, Oman included a large number of players from other countries, including many players from Pakistan and India. These players also joined this team to pursue their career. This team, a colleague member of the ICC, set their own in both ODI and T20 formats. There are competent players in this team that can surprise everyone with their performance, even in small format like T20. Share this story -tags
